How likely would seizure occur if i just reconnected these two items? the shaft will easily slide out if something isnt holding it in, ( from within the housing- this would be this rotor, and the snap ring on the shaft which ' locks it in place' and prevents the shaft from coming out. Just trying to be extra sure before i do this. snap ring is not pictured

I thought the bearing were push fit. __________________ 1984 chevy suburban, custom made 6.5L diesel turbocharged with a Garrett T76 and Holset HE351VE, 22:1 compression 13psi of intercooled boost. 1989 firebird mostly stock.
